RE: insight won't debug my program


Hi Richard,

I found that if I executed a run command in the command window, it then
ran successfully, breaking at my breakpoints.

I will try not putting anything the xterm field.  Admittedly, when it
ran as described above, then program ran in the window I ran
sourcenavigator from, not the xterm window established by xterm -e.

Thanks so far
Martin

I don't have a copy of 5.3 around, but I don't recall an xterm field,
just a checkbox.  Does Insight work if you don't use xterm?

Can run debug your program with GDB?
